Cupcake-Colored Couture

The Thakoon Resort 2013 is Inspired by Sweet Treats

— June 19, 2012 — Fashion
The Thakoon Resort 2013 collection is bursting at the seams in candy-colored fabrics and girlish frocks. Designer Thakoon Panichgul took inspiration from the frosting hues often seen on the tables of pastry decorators.

Mint greens, soft pinks and pale sky blues are evident throughout the lookbook. Although Thakoon is known for its over-the-top runway attires, the designer maintains a lighthearted look for this series. Stripes, diamonds and embellished details emulate the patterns typically seen on the fanciest of fondant cakes. The Thakoon Resort 2013 collection is on point with the season's pattern-heavy trend -- taking traditional prints like gingham and creating them in three-dimensional form.

Effortless throw-on dresses, girlish print and figure-flattering skirts provide consumers with the ideal no-fuss resort outfit. The Thakoon Resort 2013 collection is candy-coated and full of deliciously sweet attire.
